The Wednesday Girl

Rating:
Summary: Captivating, From Cover to Cover
Review: A must read for anyone who has ever been 23. I'm now 36 years old, keep house for my husband and a 3 year old boy, hold a full time job (albeit a 32 hr. work week), spend 3 hours a day commuting to and from work, YET, I managed to consume Wednesday Girl in a day-and-a-half. I simply could not put the book down. In the midst of pretending to be a Power Ranger or a dinosaur; while preparing my husband's dinner of Puttanesca Pasta; even turning away from the only Television Show that I care to watch - JAG on Tuesday night...unearthing Paige's adventures (for that's what life is to me - an adventure) became priority.

I cannot say that the challenges I faced at 23 resembled Paige's in any form or shape - but the emotional roller coaster, the confusion, the soul searching - those were all so familiar, so real.

The Book is now on loan to my sister-in-law who is actually 23 years old. Her perspective will be interesting.

Two thumbs up.

Summary: An excellent contemporary novel.
Review: The Wednesday Girl is an excellent novel. It is very down to earth and filled with emotion. The author does a tremendous job of telling this story in a very descriptive and metaphorical, yet extremely readable way. I think almost everyone can relate in one way or another to the struggles and successes of the main character (Paige). It deals with emotions and situations everyone is very familiar with. Paige deals with career choice and what the author says is the "driving force behind nature" - sex. I strongly recommend this book to virtually anyone. I hope that this self-published novel reaches as many eyes as it deserves!

Summary: So real, I can't believe it's fiction!
Review: Wow, I wish I knew about this book when the author had her book signing! The opening prologue was written with such a vivid description of details I felt that it could have been ME as the character of Eric. I could barely believe I was reading fiction! The author must have really changed alot from her journal for readers. Though it was a very interesting and arousing read, I find it sad that she depicts the charater of Eric as such a heartless player but I guess she needed to fictionalize some things afterall.
